    H'ad Astra Historia - Ep. 206: The History of HAD

    Today's guest:  Prof. Kenneth Rumstay, emeritus of Valdosta State Univeristy, talks with us today about the history of the Historical Astronomy Division. We'll learn not only about how it got started, but also about how HAD works for its members today.   H'ad astra historia is the official podcast for the Historical Astronomy Division of the American Astronomical Society. We're here to share stories from and about the people who study the stars, planets, and the cosmos. We'll be hearing from individuals who not only study the history of astronomy, but also those who lived it, who were "in the room" during pivotal events within the last 50 years or so.     Podcaster:  Loretta Cannon (an AAS affiliate via Rose City Astronomers) is a science-and-word-nerd who really likes outer space and the people who study it. She quite enjoys working as HAD's podcaster, bringing astronomy stories to you.   https://had.aas.org/   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

    Cheap Astronomy - Dear CA Ep. 126: Going Deeper

    Hosted by Steve Nerlich. Dear Cheap Astronomy – What is the right message to send to the aliens? Keen listeners may be familiar with Cheap Astronomy's ongoing despair at Earth's lacklustre attempts at communication with the wider Universe. A few episodes back we ran through a history of deliberate communications to date, about 90 per cent of which have been music – well mostly digitized and some analog radio transmissions of music.   Dear Cheap Astronomy – Can we drill through the ice and find life on Europa? Firstly, there are quite a few moons out there with suspected subsurface oceans – Ganymede and Calisto around Jupiter, Enceladus and Dione around Saturn – there's even a suspicion that Ceres, an asteroid rather than a moon, may have one. Everyone gets excited about Europa, because it's hot.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

    Astronomy Cast Ep. 769: Little Red Dots

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSVS2x-8eG4 Hosted by: Fraser Cain and Dr. Pamela L. Gay Streamed live on Oct 20, 2025. New instruments bring new mysteries, and when James Webb came on line it uncovered a collection of strange, compact, bright objects shifted deeply into the red end of the spectrum. These were dubbed "Little red dots" or LRDs. And the astronomical community continues to puzzle over what they are. When JWST first peered into the distant past, it discovered the early universe had a rash of little red dots. Their existence just 450 million years after the big bang meant either galaxies were forming way faster than anyone predicted, or something unimagined had been found.    This show is supported through people like you on Patreon.com/AstronomyCast  In this episode, we'd like to thank: Andrew Poelstra, BogieNet, Brian Cagle, Burry Gowen, David, David Rossetter, David Truog, Ed, Gerhard Schwarzer, Jason Kwong, Jeanette Wink, Michael Purcell, Olger, Sergio Sancevero, Sergey Manouilov, Siggi Kemmler, Stephen Veit   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

    Travelers in the Night Eps. 343E & 344E: 3 Explorers & Future Impactor

    Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( @Nmcanopus ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org From July 2025. Today's 2 topics: - Recently, my Grandsons, Dane and Hank joined our asteroid hunting team at the Catalina Sky Survey 60 inch telescope on Mt. Lemmon. The most interesting of our discoveries, 2017 KJ32 is only 16 feet in diameter, orbits the Sun once every 315 days, and can come closer to us than the communications satellites.    - My Catalina Sky Survey teammate Carson Fuls discovered a 33 foot diameter asteroid which has about a 1.1% chance of impacting the Earth on 569 encounters with our planet between 2045 and 2116. Its name is 2017 LD. It is on the list of the most likely objects to strike the Earth in the next hundred years as reported on NASA's Sentry Earth Impact Monitoring table.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

    The Cosmic Savannah Ep. 75: Exploring the Universe at the SARAO Conference

    From July 31, 2024. Hosted by Dr. Jacinta Delhaize, Dr. Tshiamiso Makwela & Dr. Daniel Cunnama. In this double feature episode, Jacinta interviews two amazing astronomers at the SARAO conference (South African Radio Astronomical Observatory).   Dr. Mpati Ramotsoku is a radio astrophysicist from South Africa. In the episode she discusses her journey from studying in the Netherlands to working in Italy at the Italian National Institute of Astrophysics in Cali, and eventually returning to South Africa as a research associate at Rhodes University. She delves into her research on how galaxies evolve by studying hydrogen gas in galaxies and the environmental effects on galaxy evolution, such as ram pressure stripping. Mpati also shares her discovery of new filaments in galaxies through images from the MeerKAT Telescope, a finding which has garnered international attention.   Dr. Emanuel Proven Adzuri is a Ghanaian astronomer at the Ghana Space Science and Technology Institute and the Ghana Radio Astronomy Observatory. In this episode he shares his background and journey in astronomy. Emanuel discusses his education in computational engineering and astronomy that led to a groundbreaking PhD project on space lasers, specifically focusing on the periodicity of methanol masers in star-forming regions. Emanuel also discusses the advancements in Ghana's astronomy infrastructure, including the transformation of a decommissioned telecom dish into a 32-meter radio telescope.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

    Guide to Space - How Fast Can Stars Spin? Objects With Extreme Rotation

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6vU3-LGrgM From Jul 11, 2016. Stars can spin faster or slower than the Sun. What's the fastest that's ever been discovered, and what's the fastest speed you can have before they tear themselves apart? Everything in the Universe is spinning. Spinning planets and their spinning moons orbit around spinning stars, which orbit spinning galaxies. It's spinning all the way down.   Consider that fiery ball in the sky, the Sun. Like all stars, our Sun rotates on its axis. You can't tell because staring at the Sun long enough will permanently damage your eyeballs. Instead you can use a special purpose solar telescope to observe sunspots and other features on the surface of the Sun.   Created by: Fraser Cain and Jason Harmer Edited by: Chad Weber Music: Left Spine Down - "X-Ray"   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!
